While Knights fans will have to keep waiting for their team to come home, they shouldn't be too worried about the road trip considering the result of Tuesday's season opener. They sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 78-76 victory over Hugo on Tuesday. The win was a breath of fresh air for the Knights as it put an end to their three-game losing streak dating back to last season.
